How To Deal With Idiots

How to Deal With Idiots (And Stop Being One Yourself) is a sharp, witty, and surprisingly thoughtful guide to understanding difficult people—and ourselves. Blending philosophy, psychology, and humor, Maxime Rovère explores why communication breaks down and how misunderstandings turn others into “idiots” in our eyes.

Rather than offering shallow self-help advice, this book challenges readers to rethink their own assumptions, emotional reactions, and blind spots. It shows how empathy, clarity, and self-awareness can transform conflict into understanding.
